This study aims to evaluate Person Centered Care practice and characteristics of care services in Korean long-term care facilities using Dementia Care Mapping as a tool. DCM, systematic observational evaluation tool for measuring dementia patients' QOL, was transformed into self-report rating scale. The process of transforming DCM into a scale of 34 items involves operationalization of DCM concepts and it's adaptation into Korean long-term care practices. Review by research team of Bradford university was added to maintain DCM concept and meaning in this scale. The scale with Cronbach alpha of .88 was surveyed on 343 care workers. Survey result shows PCC value practiced by them is 3.77(of 5 likert scale) and values on each categories of PCC reveal the characteristics of care in Korean facilities; attachment(4.02), comfort(3.95), inclusion(3.89), identity(3.67) and occupation(3.41). Dementia care in Korean facilities focuses on recipients'safety, comfort but lacks individualistic care and the meaningful and fulfilling occupation for patients. Looking at the organizational and individual factors influencing DCM values, the small facilities showed higher PCC values and there are no significant difference in PCC values between public and private facilities. Managers and care workers with career of 1~2 years showed higher PCC values compared to other career ranks and lengthes. This study suggests care practice should be centered on personhood of patients in long-term care facilities, for which introduction of unit care and education of PCC for service providers including support personnel are needed. DCM and Korean DCM scale developed in this study are suggested for the PCC-based assessment on care quality.

Smart-healthcare service is a health medical service which aims to provide an active consumer-directed service for both wellness and preventative health management upon the basis of rapid diffuse of smartphone which has been occurring recently. On this, this paper suggests a tele auscultation medicine smart-healthcare system based on digital stethoscope which is able through the use of the smart phone which is easy to approach anywhere. The suggested system consists of the digital stethoscope for patient's self auscultation and smart phone, the PC for doctor's examination, and the web server to connect those devices. A telemedicine can be performed between a doctor and a patient by the program which exchanges examine data and auscultation data among the devices. To sum up, by the system suggested in this paper, an easily and conveniently usable health medical service on an everyday basis could be provided without spatial and temporal limits.

Ubiquitous technology influences on various firms of contents needed for self-healthcare, as it fuses into medical services. Particularly, rapid changes in the web and mobile environment, requiring various sorts of healthcare and its related contents, make efficiency of search more important. Personalized contents needs to be more refined as well as the existing simple keyword-centered searching method needs to be more effective in order to meet both requirements and characteristics of each patient or each user. A precise semantic searching method is required for a system to understand promptly the meaning of a contents. In this respect, to build a healthcare ontology has its own significance. This study builds up a system model that can be utilized practically in existing systems by setting up the Food Class and its sub-class among the healthcare contents with Protege tool and then materializing constraints and its relationships between each class. The healthcare contents ontology provides patients or users with a platform which can search the needed information promptly and precisely.

The objective of this study was to explore the elements and effects of integrated care interventions for the elderly, and to describe the roles of social workers on the multidisciplinary teams. A rapid systematic review was conducted through a database-based search and a manual search. The main findings are as follows: First, Key elements of integrated care for the elderly were case management, individual multidisciplinary care plan, service characteristics, centrality of client needs, patient education, and self-management. Second, In terms of care experience and health of the elderly, and economic analysis, although the results were mixed, there were some positive effects on program participants compared to the control groups. Third, social workers have been found to serve as case managers, care managers, care coordinators, and direct service providers. Based on these results, educational and policy implications were suggested.

고령화 사회의 웰빙트렌드와 생활습관에 의해서 의료서비스는 병원 중심의 치료서비스에서 개인과 의료인이 상호 긴밀하게 협력하여 질병의 예방, 관리, 건강증진 등을 제공하는 u-의료서비스 트렌드로 급속히 변화되고 있다. 최근 Biotechnology (BT), Information technology (IT)의 발달은 다양한 소형 센서 및 기기 개발을 가능하게 하고 있으며, 이렇게 측정한 환자의 데이터가 병원과 의사에게 전달되도록 함으로써 언제 어디서나 검사와 진료가 가능하도록 하는 유헬스케어 시스템이 대두되고 있다. 만성질환에 대한 유헬스케어 분야는 이제 단순한 의료차원이 아니라, BT 및 IT부문에 각각 굉장한 산업적 파급효과를 일으킬 수 있어 차세대 성장동력사업으로 발전할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다.

최근에 고위험도 환자군을 중심으로 신체의 일부에 생체신호 측정 장치를 부착하여 병원이 아닌 환자가 거주하는 공간을 중심으로 데이터를 수집하고 이를 스마트 폰과 같은 모바일 기기로 전송하여 환자의 건강상태를 감시하는 모바일 헬스케어 패러다임이 활발하게 적용되고 있다. 이에 따라서 본 논문에서는, 웨어러블 생체신호 획득 장치로부터 모바일 기기로 수신되는 환자의 데이터에서 기저선 변동 또는 전원 잡음이 발생하는 경우 안드로이드 기반의 스마트 폰 환경에서 이러한 왜곡 현상을 실시간으로 제거하는 유한응답 필터링 연산 알고리즘을 제시하고자 하였다.
